State of New Hampshire Superior Court of Judicature County of Strafford ss
On this fifth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty nine personally appeared in Open Court at the Superior Court of Judicature for the State of New Hampshire being a Court of Records John Barlin a resident in Wakefi- eld in said County aged sixty eight years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provisions made by the acts of Congress of the 18 th of March 18 18 and the first of May 1820 that he the said John Barlin enlisted for the term of three years some time in the months of May 1777 in the State of New Hampshire in the Company commanded by Captain William Rouse in the second Regiment commanded by Colonel Keale in the line of the State of New Hampshire on the continental establishment that he continued to serve for the term of three years and was there discharged at Still Water in the State of New York that his name has been placed on the Pension list and dropped therefrom on account of his property That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present that his name is not on the roll of any State except New Hampshire and that the following are the reasons for not m- aking earlier applications to be restored to the Pension Roll under the act of 1 st May 1820 that at that time he owned a Small Farm in Wakefield

and although he owed different Persons near five hundred dollars he was able to labour and had two sons with him which were nearly men grown with whose labor he was able to support his family and his cre- ditors did not call on him for payment he therefore concluded not to ask for a pension as long as he could do without and was encouraged in so doing by being frequently told that Congress would do something for those who did not apply. And in the year 1822 when he mort- gaged his farm he had hopes that Congress would make some provi- sion whereby he should get some help that would enable him to redeem his farm and save him the necessity of making this application and in pursuance of the act of the first of May 1820 I do solemnly be- ear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 th of March 1818 and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of congress entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and Naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War" passed on the 18 th of March 1818 and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities contracts or debts due me nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed.

I Andrew Peirce, Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas for said County of Strafford, do certify that Josiah H. Hobbs, Esquire, whose signature is affixed to the annexed documents, is a Justice of the Peace within and for said County and duly empowered to administer Oaths. —
In testimony whereof, I have hereto set my hand, and affixed the Seal of said Court, this 18 th day of March A D 1879 — A. Peirce, Clerk —

I George W. Coss of Wakefield in the County of Stafford and State of New Hampshire depose and say that in the month of December AD 1822 John Garlin of said Wakefield signed sealed & delivered to me a mortgage deed of his farm in said Wakefield wherein said Garlin then lived and now lives. The condition of said deed was in the words following "The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas I the said John Garlin have given the said George W. Coss a certain promissory note of even date with this instrument for two hundred and eighty two dollars payable in thirty days from date with interest now if I the said John Garlin shall well and truly pay said note according to the tenor thereof, then this obligation to be void otherwise to remain in full force and virtue." I further depose and say that the consideration of said note was in many parts by me for said Garlin to one Edward Cutts of Portsmouth N.H. on a note or notes and an execution. Said note or notes were signed by said Garlin & one Edmund Roberts of said Portsmouth & said Execution issued on a jury verdict founded on a note or notes signed by said Garlin & said Roberts. Said Cutts was an attorney at Law. Said money paid by me to said Cutts for said Garlin as aforesaid with the sum allowed me by said Garlin for my services for settling said note or notes and execution constitute the whole consideration of said note said note signed by said Garlin to me. The amount of the notes signed by said Garlin to said Roberts as aforesaid when signed was two hundred dollars on interest & had been standing several years when paid as aforesaid. Said Garlin did not pay said note signed by him to me and on the 21 st day of December AD 1825 I took possession of said mortgaged premises for condition broken and the equity of redemption was foreclosed in one year from that time and the premises indisputably mine. Said Garlin has never paid said note otherwise than by suffering the equity of redemption to be foreclosed & I have said note now in my possession. I have suffered said Garlin to remain on said premises as tenant at will.
